Seriously,what are you talking about?
Procedure for something like this is going to be effected when Valve are in their busiest period of the year....
What has Larian to gain from pretending that the Editor is coming,when its not actually? They've shown it in use,they've made he whole game with it, its being held up on Valves end. End of Story
while original EA/backers paid the full price ?
Backers. They BACKED the project. You need to know the difference between a pre order and backing/early access. Early Access and backing are to SUPPORT the development of the game, not just to get a copy of the game.
Im more than happy to back a game for a couple of hundred euro (hey 200ish spent on Wasteland,Pillars of Eterity and Torment each) and I'm not going to complain about them offering a discount to attract people who otherwise wouldn't have backed at the higher levels.
